At this point, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"The firefly project is great, really great."

However, the difficulty level is also quite high.

Unmanned equipment takes to the sky—

No problem.

Large aircraft, small drones, and even unmanned boats are all fine.

But people are really unsure about miniature fireflies like Xiaocheng.

Furthermore, fireflies not only need to be able to fly, but also need to have the ability to detect constant temperatures.

Just thinking about it makes me realize that the level of research required for this project is incredibly difficult.

But then I think about what would happen if it came true—

How astonished other countries must have been when this was revealed to them.

Of course, they naturally hope they won't need it.

-

Then, when Lin Yuan returned home, he discovered that Lin Wei was actually hoarding supplies.

"Sis, what are you doing? Why are you hoarding so much stuff?"

Lin Wei naturally couldn't tell the truth. "I don't know either. Ever since I told you about the rescue last time, my heart has been pounding and I've been feeling uneasy. I was thinking that if something really happens, it's better to have something on hand than nothing. Anyway, we have a warehouse at home, so let's stock up on some."

"But these things are too—".

Generators, tents, portable stoves, and all other flammable and moisture-retaining equipment.

Canned food, instant noodles, compressed biscuits, and any other food that can be stored for a long time.

There are also warm military overcoats, available for both adults and children.

Everything, in astonishing quantities.

"Even with our family and all our relatives, I'm afraid we won't need this many things."

Lin Wei glanced into the warehouse. "This is only a small amount of stuff; half of it hasn't even arrived yet."

Not just all our relatives, but enough relatives for hundreds of years to come.

However, since the disaster has not yet occurred, if Lin Weiruo prepares too much in advance, it will only arouse suspicion. A little preparation is enough.

But she never expected that her simple act of stockpiling supplies would touch Lin Yuan's heart.

They called on the Su brothers, who had just returned home, and the three of them once again worked late into the night at the research institute.

-

Both the 'Douli' and 'Chujian' brands are doing very well.

Because it has faced much controversy but has always managed to remain operational, it has actually gained a loyal user base, and it continues to be profitable.

They actually achieved a rapid market launch.

The brand became incredibly popular again, and Lin Wei seized the opportunity to launch a series of new promotions, which led to another increase in the brand's prices.

"The next step is to stabilize the current turnover, so that the business doesn't collapse right after the IPO and then we have to declare bankruptcy."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, can't you say something nice?" Wang Ying retorted unhappily.

But to be honest, she never expected to achieve such success.

"Back in school, I was so annoyed by doing homework every day. Who would have thought that more than ten years later, I would become the vice president of a listed company?"

"Not only did you not expect this, but I didn't expect it either. But Yingying, you're quite capable."

Moreover, as we get older, those major ailments that used to be serious become minor ailments, and minor ailments naturally become less important.

Besides, no one is perfect, and she herself has her own little flaws.

"Weiwei, our company just went public, you won't be launching any new brands afterward, will you?"

"Not for now, but if we want to continue making coffee in the long run, we need to keep developing new products. We can't just copy others; we need to develop our own new flavors."

Wang Ying asked, "What about the price? I know you won't raise prices, and you usually provide subsidies. But if you make a new product, how will you set the price?"

“Looking at prices, we’re going for a low-price strategy, so there’s no need to set prices so high. Besides, we know we’re making just as much as others, so there’s no need to use high prices to create hype. If prices rise, we’ll raise them by one or two yuan. If prices don’t rise, we’ll just set them at our average price.”

After hearing this, Wang Ying understood.

“Our platform gives out coupons every day, and with a discount of 1 or 2 yuan, the price is actually about the same as usual.”

"By the way, isn't everyone registered on WeChat now? People use work groups to discuss work, so we can create a benefits group and give out benefits from time to time. One is to give away coffee in a lucky draw. Giving away 1-3 cups a day won't cost much, but it will boost sales."

"Secondly, it allows us to plant spies and organize group purchases."

Wang Ying didn't quite understand what the undercover agent was saying.

"What are you doing?"

"It's like having someone planted in the group. When the group is quiet or at a special time, someone can ask, 'Does anyone want to drink coffee?' and then we can organize a group purchase."

“When people buy things on apps, most of them order in advance and then take them upstairs to work. But if it's a group purchase, we can order a quantity, like 10 people, and it can be delivered directly. The store doesn't just have one employee, so we can definitely make the drinks. Besides, we already have delivery drivers, so why not have them deliver them?”

Wang Ying's eyes lit up.

"Yeah, doesn't this boost sales again? We can put the QR code as an advertisement at the store entrance, equip each store with a smartphone, and distribute one to the people on the early shift and another to the people on the late shift. Anyway, we can set it up so that only one coupon can be used at a time, and the discount will still be the same, so what does it matter!"

Wang Ying's ability to act is unmatched by anyone else.

After pondering what Lin Wei had said, he immediately went to carry it out.

Let's start with Jiangcheng.

There are 389 coffee shops in Jiangcheng, which is equivalent to 389 mobile phones.

It's not cost-effective to buy large quantities of phones and phone numbers individually.

Furthermore, since Shen Jize and Zhuang Zhihao were involved in communications, Lin Wei delivered a phone number and phone number directly to their door with just one phone call.

To Lin Wei's surprise, the person who delivered the phone was Zhuang Zhihao himself.

"Brother Zhihao, why did you come in person?"

"I wouldn't dare delay what you need, but what are you planning to do now, suddenly wanting so many phones?"

Lin Wei didn't hide it and told the other party about her thoughts.

"That's how it is. We can't let employees use their own phone numbers. First, it's inconvenient, it's their personal information. Second, what happens to their former clients if they leave the company? We can't let them take them with them."

"So why not put up some money in advance and use public funds from the beginning?"

“You’re the one with the ideas,” Zhuang Zhihao explained. “You asked for so many unregistered numbers all at once. I came to ask as usual, but we’ve received instructions from our superiors that every number needs to be registered with a real name. I reported your situation to them, and they said it can be registered under the company’s name. So you’ll still need to send your documents to us so we can complete the necessary procedures for you.”

"Okay, okay, this is easy. I'll have Yingying take care of it in a bit."

Zhuang Zhihao laughed and said, "You're good at ordering people around, why don't you go yourself?"

“How can you expect the boss to do the work? Besides, I have other things to do.”
